propane shortage

With propane in short supply and Tennessee bracing for another arctic cold snap, Governor Bill Haslam has issued an Executive Order that should speed up propane delivery over the next few days.

The State of Emergency declaration means truckers hauling propane in Tennessee are now allowed to exceed federal limits on the amount of time they spend on the road. Currently, those regulations restrict propane drivers to 70 hours per week, with no more than 11 hours on the road at a time. They must also leave 10 consecutive hours between shifts.
